Flying solo. Abroad.

Flying solo. Abroad.

In London I had a few days on my own while mi amiga was working. It was my first time doing the whole solo tourist thing and I loved parts of it, and hated others. I for sure learned some things about myself along the way. Here are a few of my thoughts on the pros and cons of a tourist party of one:

Pro: Stopping as many times as you want for coffee or dessert without getting judged

Con: Eating way too much of said dessert because there’s no one to share with

Pro: Spending as much or as little time at a museum exhibit as you want

Con: Not having anyone to discuss how amazing or not a museum exhibit was

Pro: Freedom to make and change your plans as often as you like

Con: Asking strangers for directions because you are spatially challenged and alone

Pro: Seeing everything you want to see

Con: Mastering the selfie to prove you saw it (i.e. above photo)

Pro: Enjoying a pint at a local pub all on your own and feeling very liberated.

Con: Enjoying a pint at a local pub all on your own and feeling very alcoholic.
